New Year's Resolution - How to Reach Your Savings Goal for 2012 #1

Couponing can seem so overwhelming at first!  Many times people will give up before they get the kinks worked out and never get to experience the true savings that are available.  I hope that through this series I can help you break the process down into manageable steps so that you can begin to reach your savings goals for the New Year!


First I would like to dispel some couponing myths.

• You will not walk out the grocery store every time you shop having paid only pennies for three carts of groceries!  
• You do not have to (nor should you) buy 20 bottles of shampoo (or whatever) each time you shop!
• You do not have to give up your favorite products.  You can still remain "brand loyal" and save money - Although trying new products with coupons may introduce you to new items that you and your family may enjoy.
• You do not have to spend hours planning your shopping trips to only save a few dollars!
• You also do not need tons of storage space to keep your "stockpile".  There are creative ways to store stocked up items that take up very little room!

So what do you do?  The first thing is to gather coupons, of course!  Start here to print your first coupons!
